Now I wasn't watching Etika's stream that he was doing today but apparently during it RogersBase sent him a DM on Twitter that told him that the direct is happening tomorrow but don't expect it to be announced today.

I feel like they were meant to reveal the direct by now, but they ended up just having too much fun trolling everyone instead. To be fair, I can't blame them. Whoever runs Nintendo's twitter account must be having some laugh.

Anyway I'm not sure if it will be tomorrow, but the waiting for it is actually starting to get pretty fun.



Based on the comments on twitter that I have seen from third Party Dev's. Probably a few I didn't see yet...

So far I've seen...

Sonic: Blaze the Cat 

Assassin Creed: Anubis Guy (sorry didn't play it yet...)

Megaman: Fire Robot(sorry don't know much about boss names...)

Resident Evil: Jack from RE7

Obsidion: Lady (don't recognize)

Riot Games: Brand from League of Legends

Rift: Scene of the Land on Fire

Doom: DOOM! 

NIS: DOOD!

Trove: Guy on Fire

Archeage: Lady flying on a Sky Kite

I think they are enjoying this hype buildup and encouraging it.  They don’t have to tell everyone because everyone already is aware. I bet this time they won’t announce until we see a video with a countdown.

This is what I think as well I bet they will announced by just having the stream appear in youtube sub boxes a couple hours before it happens.  Hell despite the lack of an official announcement I have never seen people this hyped for a direct. Just look at the ResetEra thread that thing has blown has become the sites largest thread.  Probably gonna get up around 6 AM tomorrow since I get the feeling this is gonna be a 7 AM direct in the west coast.

I just saw all of this on twitter.  All of those characters are on fire.  I think Nintendo is going to have either a fire themed or possibly Fire Emblem themed direct.  Furthermore I think they are also hinting it will be on Jan. 11.

Or they just, really like fire.
And hate Chibi-Robo.



If there was going to be a direct tomorrow then they would have announced it by now. Likely next week it'll happen in my opinion.

It could be one of their closest in time frames from announcement to release.

The March 3, 2016 direct took 16 hours from announce to release. 

 

This one, it seems that Nintendo knows that we know that Nintendo knows that we know that the Nintendo Direct is supposed to be tomorrow based on leaks from EA that detailed a Jan direct and other places around the web that have all stated a Jan 11th Direct theory. Including people on Resetera with a mod backer. So maybe they are playing with our emotions on this one.

We have seen a couple of last minutes from Nintendo in 2017. Octopath demo avalaible NOW or Champions Ballade available NOW. Also no one believed xenoblade2 release would happen in 2017. And it happened. I dont think anyone is a nintendo expert anymore. The company is changing. Why is it unbelievable that the direct is at friday? Why is it unbelievable that the direct will be announced 2 hours before the direct tommorow morning. No one of us is working for Nintendo. We are NOT Nintendo experts. We are not decisionmakers. Nintendo was 100 years ago in the sex Business  and had ties to the yakuza and now they are making games. Dont say its impossible because you and me we dont know anything. We are just consumers.
